KJVAnd^G1161 after^G3326 the uproar^G2351 was ceased^G3973^(G5670), Paul^G3972 called^G4341^(G5666) unto him the disciples^G3101, and^G2532 embraced^G782^(G5666) them, and departed^G1831^(G5627) for to go^G4198^(G5677) into^G1519 Macedonia^G3109.

² When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.

KJVAnd^G1161 when he had gone over^G1330^(G5631) those^G1565 parts^G3313, and^G2532 had given^G4183 them^G846 much^G4183 exhortation^G3870^(G5660)^G3056, he came^G2064^(G5627) into^G1519 Greece^G1671,

³ When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

KJVAnd^G5037 there abode^G4160^(G5660) three^G5140 months^G3376. And when the Jews^G5259^G2453 laid^G1096^(G5637) wait^G1917 for him^G846, as he was about^G3195^(G5723) to sail^G321^(G5745) into^G1519 Syria^G4947, he purposed^G1096^(G5633)^G1106 to return^G5290^(G5721) through^G1223 Macedonia^G3109.

⁵ But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.

KJVThese^G3778 going before^G4281^(G5631) tarried^G3306^(G5707) for us^G2248 at^G1722 Troas^G5174.

⁶ We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

KJVAnd^G1161 we^G2249 sailed away^G1602^(G5656) from^G575 Philippi^G5375 after^G3326 the days^G2250 of unleavened bread^G106, and^G2532 came^G2064^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846 to^G1519 Troas^G5174 in^G891 five^G4002 days^G2250; where^G3757 we abode^G1304^(G5656) seven^G2033 days^G2250.

⁸ There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.

KJVAnd^G1161 there were^G2258^(G5713) many^G2425 lights^G2985 in^G1722 the upper chamber^G5253, where^G3757 they were^G2258^(G5713) gathered together^G4863^(G5772).

⁹ A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.

KJVAnd^G1161 there sat^G2521^(G5740) in^G1909 a window^G2376 a certain^G5100 young man^G3494 named^G3686 Eutychus^G2161, being fallen^G2702^(G5746) into a deep^G901 sleep^G5258: and as Paul^G3972 was long^G1909^G4119 preaching^G1256^(G5740), he sunk down^G2702^(G5685) with^G575 sleep^G5258, and fell down^G2736^G4098^(G5627) from^G575 the third loft^G5152, and^G2532 was taken up^G142^(G5681) dead^G3498.

¹⁰ Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”

KJVAnd^G1161 Paul^G3972 went down^G2597^(G5631), and fell on^G1968^(G5627) him^G846, and^G2532 embracing^G4843^(G5631) him said^G2036^(G5627), Trouble^G2350 not^G3361 yourselves^G2350^(G5744); for^G1063 his^G846 life^G5590 is^G2076^(G5748) in^G1722 him^G846.

¹¹ When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

KJVWhen^G1161 he^G305 therefore was come up again^G305^(G5631), and^G2532 had broken^G2806^(G5660) bread^G740, and^G2532 eaten^G1089^(G5666), and^G5037 talked^G3656^(G5660)^G1909 a long while^G2425, even till^G891 break of day^G827, so^G3779 he departed^G1831^(G5627).

¹² They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

KJVAnd^G1161 they brought^G71^(G5627) the young man^G3816 alive^G2198^(G5723), and^G2532 were^G3870 not^G3756 a little^G3357 comforted^G3870^(G5681).

¹³ But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.

KJVAnd^G1161 we^G2249 went before^G4281^(G5631) to^G1909 ship^G4143, and sailed^G321^(G5681) unto^G1519 Assos^G789, there^G1564 intending^G3195^(G5723) to take in^G353^(G5721) Paul^G3972: for^G1063 so^G3779 had he^G2258^(G5713) appointed^G1299^(G5772), minding^G3195^(G5723) himself^G846 to go afoot^G3978^(G5721).

¹⁴ When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 he met^G4820^(G5627) with us^G2254 at^G1519 Assos^G789, we took^G353 him^G846 in^G353^(G5631), and came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Mitylene^G3412.

¹⁵ Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.

KJVAnd^G2547 we sailed^G636^(G5660) thence^G2547, and came^G2658^(G5656) the next^G1966^(G5752) day over against^G481 Chios^G5508; and^G1161 the next^G2087 day we arrived^G3846^(G5627) at^G1519 Samos^G4544, and^G2532 tarried^G3306^(G5660) at^G1722 Trogyllium^G5175; and the next^G2192^(G5746) day we came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Miletus^G3399.

¹⁶ For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

KJVFor^G1063 Paul^G3972 had determined^G2919^(G5656) to sail by^G3896^(G5658) Ephesus^G2181, because^G3704 he^G846 would^G1096^(G5638) not^G3361 spend the time^G5551^(G5658) in^G1722 Asia^G773: for^G1063 he hasted^G4692^(G5707), if^G1487 it were^G2258^(G5713) possible^G1415 for him^G846, to be^G1096^(G5635) at^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414 the day^G2250 of Pentecost^G4005.

¹⁷ From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.

KJVAnd^G1161 from^G575 Miletus^G3399 he sent^G3992^(G5660) to^G1519 Ephesus^G2181, and called^G3333^(G5668) the elders^G4245 of the church^G1577.

¹⁸ When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 they were come^G3854^(G5633) to^G4314 him^G846, he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Ye^G5210 know^G1987^(G5736), from^G575 the first^G4413 day^G2250 that^G575^G3739 I came^G1910^(G5627) into^G1519 Asia^G773, after what manner^G4459 I have been^G1096^(G5633) with^G3326 you^G5216 at all^G3956 seasons^G5550,

¹⁹ serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

KJVServing^G1398^(G5723) the Lord^G2962 with^G3326 all^G3956 humility of mind^G5012, and^G2532 with many^G4183 tears^G1144, and^G2532 temptations^G3986, which^G3588 befell^G4819^(G5631) me^G3427 by^G1722 the lying in wait^G1917 of the Jews^G2453:

²⁰ how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

KJVAnd how^G5613 I kept back^G5288^(G5668) nothing^G3762 that was profitable^G4851^(G5723) unto you, but^G3361 have shewed^G312^(G5658) you^G5213, and^G2532 have taught^G1321^(G5658) you^G5209 publickly^G1219, and^G2532 from^G2596 house to house^G3624,

²¹ testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

KJVTestifying^G1263^(G5740) both^G5037 to the Jews^G2453, and also^G2532 to the Greeks^G1672, repentance^G3341 toward^G1519 God^G2316, and^G2532 faith^G4102 toward^G1519 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

²² Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3568, behold^G2400^(G5628), I^G1473 go^G4198^(G5736) bound^G1210^(G5772) in the spirit^G4151 unto^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, not^G3361 knowing^G1492^(G5761) the things that shall befall^G4876^(G5694) me^G3427 there^G1722^G846:

²³ except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

KJVSave^G4133 that^G3754 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 witnesseth^G1263^(G5736) in every^G2596 city^G4172, saying^G3004^(G5723) that^G3754 bonds^G1199 and^G2532 afflictions^G2347 abide^G3306^(G5719) me^G3165.

²⁴ But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

KJVBut^G235 none^G3762 of these things^G3056 move me^G4160^(G5731), neither^G3761 count I^G2192^(G5719) my^G3450 life^G5590 dear^G5093 unto myself^G1683, so^G5613 that I might finish^G5048^(G5658) my^G3450 course^G1408 with^G3326 joy^G5479, and^G2532 the ministry^G1248, which^G3739 I have received^G2983^(G5627) of^G3844 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, to testify^G1263^(G5664) the gospel^G2098 of the grace^G5485 of God^G2316.

²⁵ “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3568, behold^G2400^(G5628), I^G1473 know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 ye^G5210 all^G3956, among^G1722 whom^G3739 I have gone^G1330^(G5627) preaching^G2784^(G5723) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, shall see^G3700^(G5695) my^G3450 face^G4383 no more^G3765.

²⁶ Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,

KJVWherefore^G1352 I take^G3143 you^G5213 to record^G3143^(G5736) this^G1722^G4594 day^G2250, that^G3754 I^G1473 am pure^G2513 from^G575 the blood^G129 of all^G3956 men.

²⁷ for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

KJVFor^G1063 I have^G5288 not^G3756^G3361 shunned^G5288^(G5668) to declare^G312^(G5658) unto you^G5213 all^G3956 the counsel^G1012 of God^G2316.

²⁸ Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

KJVTake heed^G4337^(G5720) therefore^G3767 unto yourselves^G1438, and^G2532 to all^G3956 the flock^G4168, over^G1722 the which^G3739 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 hath made^G5087^(G5639) you^G5209 overseers^G1985, to feed^G4165^(G5721) the church^G1577 of God^G2316, which^G3739 he hath purchased^G4046^(G5668) with^G1223 his own^G2398 blood^G129.

²⁹ For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

KJVFor^G1063 I^G1473 know^G1492^(G5758) this^G5124, that^G3754 after^G3326 my^G3450 departing^G867 shall grievous^G926 wolves^G3074 enter in^G1525^(G5695) among^G1519 you^G5209, not^G3361 sparing^G5339^(G5740) the flock^G4168.

³⁰ Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

KJVAlso^G2532 of^G1537 your^G5216 own selves^G846 shall^G450 men^G435 arise^G450^(G5698), speaking^G2980^(G5723) perverse things^G1294^(G5772), to draw away^G645^(G5721) disciples^G3101 after^G3694 them^G846.

³¹ Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

KJVTherefore^G1352 watch^G1127^(G5720), and remember^G3421^(G5723), that^G3754 by the space of three years^G5148 I ceased^G3973^(G5668) not^G3756 to warn^G3560^(G5723) every^G1538 one^G1520 night^G3571 and^G2532 day^G2250 with^G3326 tears^G1144.

³² Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3569, brethren^G80, I commend^G3908^(G5731) you^G5209 to God^G2316, and^G2532 to the word^G3056 of his^G846 grace^G5485, which^G3588 is able^G1410^(G5740) to build you up^G2026^(G5658), and^G2532 to give^G1325^(G5629) you^G5213 an inheritance^G2817 among^G1722 all^G3956 them which are sanctified^G37^(G5772).

³³ I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

KJVI have coveted^G1937^(G5656) no man's^G3762 silver^G694, or^G2228 gold^G5553, or^G2228 apparel^G2441.

³⁴ You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

KJVYea^G1161, ye yourselves^G846 know^G1097^(G5719), that^G3754 these^G3778 hands^G5495 have ministered^G5256^(G5656) unto my^G3450 necessities^G5532, and^G2532 to them that were^G5607^(G5752) with^G3326 me^G1700.

³⁵ In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

KJVI have shewed^G5263^(G5656) you^G5213 all things^G3956, how that^G3754 so^G3779 labouring^G2872^(G5723) ye ought^G1163^(G5748) to support^G482^(G5738) the weak^G770^(G5723), and^G5037 to remember^G3421^(G5721) the words^G3056 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, how^G3754 he^G846 said^G2036^(G5627), It is^G2076^(G5748) more^G3123 blessed^G3107 to give^G1325^(G5721) than^G2228 to receive^G2983^(G5721).

³⁶ When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had thus^G5023 spoken^G2036^(G5631), he^G846 kneeled^G1119 down^G5087^(G5631), and prayed^G4336^(G5662) with^G4862 them^G846 all^G3956.

³⁷ They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

KJVAnd^G1161 they all^G3956 wept^G2805^G1096^(G5633) sore^G2425, and^G2532 fell^G1968^(G5631) on^G1909 Paul's^G3972 neck^G5137, and kissed^G2705^(G5707) him^G846,

³⁸ sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

KJVSorrowing^G3600^(G5746) most of all^G3122 for^G1909 the words^G3056 which^G3739 he spake^G2046^(G5715), that^G3754 they should^G3195^(G5719) see^G2334^(G5721) his^G846 face^G4383 no more^G3765. And^G1161 they accompanied^G4311^(G5707) him^G846 unto^G1519 the ship^G4143.

¹While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that, while Apollos^G625 was^G1511^(G5750)^G1722 at^G1722 Corinth^G2882, Paul^G3972 having passed^G1330^(G5631) through the upper^G510 coasts^G3313 came^G2064^(G5629) to^G1519 Ephesus^G2181: and^G2532 finding^G2147^(G5631) certain^G5100 disciples^G3101,

² He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

KJVHe said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846,^G1487 Have ye received^G2983^(G5627) the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 since ye believed^G4100^(G5660)? And^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846,^G235 We have^G191 not so much as^G3761 heard^G191^(G5656) whether^G1487 there be any^G2076^(G5748) Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.

³ He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”

KJVAnd^G5037 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Unto^G1519 what^G5101 then^G3767 were ye baptized^G907^(G5681)? And^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627), Unto^G1519 John's^G2491 baptism^G908.

⁴ Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”

KJVThen^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) Paul^G3972, John^G2491 verily^G3303 baptized^G907^(G5656) with the baptism^G908 of repentance^G3341, saying^G3004^(G5723) unto the people^G2992, that^G2443 they should believe^G4100^(G5661) on^G1519 him which should come^G2064^(G5740) after^G3326 him^G846, that is^G5123^(G5748), on^G1519 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

⁵ When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

KJVWhen^G1161 they heard^G191^(G5660) this, they were baptized^G907^(G5681) in^G1519 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424.

⁶ When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.

KJVAnd^G2532 when Paul^G3972 had laid^G2007 his hands^G5495 upon^G2007^(G5631) them^G846, the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 came^G2064^(G5627) on^G1909 them^G846; and^G5037 they spake^G2980^(G5707) with tongues^G1100, and^G2532 prophesied^G4395^(G5707).

⁷ They were about twelve men in all.

KJVAnd^G1161 all^G3956 the men^G435 were^G2258^(G5713) about^G5616 twelve^G1177.

⁸ He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.

KJVAnd^G1161 he went^G1525^(G5631) into^G1519 the synagogue^G4864, and spake boldly^G3955^(G5711) for the space^G1909 of three^G5140 months^G3376, disputing^G1256^(G5740) and^G2532 persuading^G3982^(G5723) the things concerning^G4012 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

⁹ But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

KJVBut^G1161 when^G5613 divers^G5100 were hardened^G4645^(G5712), and^G2532 believed not^G544^(G5707), but spake evil^G2551^(G5723) of that way^G3598 before^G1799 the multitude^G4128, he departed^G868^(G5631) from^G575 them^G846, and separated^G873^(G5656) the disciples^G3101, disputing^G1256^(G5740) daily^G2596^G2250 in^G1722 the school^G4981 of one^G5100 Tyrannus^G5181.

¹⁰ This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

KJVAnd^G1161 this^G5124 continued^G1096^(G5633) by the space^G1909 of two^G1417 years^G2094; so^G5620 that all^G3956 they which dwelt in^G2730^(G5723) Asia^G773 heard^G191^(G5658) the word^G3056 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, both^G5037 Jews^G2453 and^G2532 Greeks^G1672.

¹¹ God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,

KJVAnd^G5037 God^G2316 wrought^G4160^(G5707) special^G3756^G5177^(G5631) miracles^G1411 by^G1223 the hands^G5495 of Paul^G3972:

¹² so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.

KJVSo^G2532^G5620 that from^G575 his^G846 body^G5559 were brought^G2018^(G5745) unto^G1909 the sick^G770^(G5723) handkerchiefs^G4676 or^G2228 aprons^G4612, and^G2532 the diseases^G3554 departed^G525^(G5745) from^G575 them^G846, and^G5037 the evil^G4190 spirits^G4151 went^G1831^(G5738) out of^G575 them^G846.

¹³ But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

KJVThen^G1161 certain^G5100 of^G575 the vagabond^G4022^(G5740) Jews^G2453, exorcists^G1845, took upon them^G2021^(G5656) to call^G3687^(G5721) over^G1909 them which had^G2192^(G5723) evil^G4190 spirits^G4151 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, saying^G3004^(G5723), We adjure^G3726^(G5719) you^G5209 by Jesus^G2424 whom^G3739 Paul^G3972 preacheth^G2784^(G5719).

¹⁴ There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

KJVAnd^G1161 there were^G2258^(G5713) seven^G2033 sons^G5207 of one Sceva^G4630^G5100, a Jew^G2453, and chief of the priests^G749, which did^G4160^(G5723) so^G5124.

¹⁵ The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”

KJVAnd^G1161 the evil^G4190 spirit^G4151 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627), Jesus^G2424 I know^G1097^(G5719), and^G2532 Paul^G3972 I know^G1987^(G5736); but^G1161 who^G5101 are^G2075^(G5748) ye^G5210?

¹⁶ The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

KJVAnd^G2532 the man^G444 in^G1722 whom^G3739 the evil^G4190 spirit^G4151 was^G2258^(G5713) leaped^G2177^(G5740) on^G1909 them^G846, and^G2532 overcame^G2634^(G5660) them^G846, and prevailed^G2480^(G5656) against^G2596 them^G846, so^G5620 that they fled^G1628^(G5629) out of^G1537 that^G1565 house^G3624 naked^G1131 and^G2532 wounded^G5135^(G5772).

¹⁷ This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

KJVAnd^G1161 this^G5124 was^G1096^(G5633) known^G1110 to all^G3956 the Jews^G2453 and^G5037 Greeks^G1672 also^G2532 dwelling^G2730^(G5723) at Ephesus^G2181; and^G2532 fear^G5401 fell^G1968^(G5627) on^G1909 them^G846 all^G3956, and^G2532 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 was magnified^G3170^(G5712).

¹⁸ Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.

KJVAnd^G5037 many^G4183 that believed^G4100^(G5761) came^G2064^(G5711), and confessed^G1843^(G5734), and^G2532 shewed^G312^(G5723) their^G846 deeds^G4234.

¹⁹ Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

KJVMany^G2425 of them also^G1161 which used^G4238^(G5660) curious arts^G4021 brought^G4851 their books^G976 together^G4851^(G5631), and burned them^G2618^(G5707) before^G1799 all^G3956 men: and^G2532 they counted^G4860^(G5656) the price^G5092 of them^G846, and^G2532 found^G2147^(G5627) it fifty^G4002 thousand^G3461 pieces of silver^G694.

²⁰ So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.

KJVSo^G3779 mightily^G2596^G2904 grew^G837^(G5707) the word^G3056 of God^G2962 and^G2532 prevailed^G2480^(G5707).

²¹ Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”

KJVAfter^G1161^G5613 these things^G5023 were ended^G4137^(G5681), Paul^G3972 purposed^G5087^(G5639) in^G1722 the spirit^G4151, when he had passed through^G1330^(G5631) Macedonia^G3109 and^G2532 Achaia^G882, to go^G4198^(G5738) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, saying^G2036^(G5631), After^G3754^G3326 I^G3165 have been^G1096^(G5635) there^G1563, I^G3165 must^G1163^(G5748) also^G2532 see^G1492^(G5629) Rome^G4516.

²² Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

KJVSo^G1161 he sent^G649^(G5660) into^G1519 Macedonia^G3109 two^G1417 of them that ministered^G1247^(G5723) unto him^G846, Timotheus^G5095 and^G2532 Erastus^G2037; but he himself^G846 stayed^G1907^(G5627) in^G1519 Asia^G773 for a season^G5550.

²³ About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.

KJVAnd^G1161^G2596 the same^G1565 time^G2540 there arose^G1096^(G5633) no^G3756 small^G3641 stir^G5017 about^G4012 that way^G3598.

²⁴ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,

KJVFor^G1063 a certain^G5100 man named^G3686 Demetrius^G1216, a silversmith^G695, which made^G4160^(G5723) silver^G693 shrines^G3485 for Diana^G735, brought^G3930^(G5710) no^G3756 small^G3641 gain^G2039 unto the craftsmen^G5079;

²⁵ whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.

KJVWhom^G3739 he called together^G4867^(G5660) with the workmen^G2040 of^G4012 like occupation^G5108, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Sirs^G435, ye know^G1987^(G5736) that^G3754 by^G1537 this^G5026 craft^G2039 we have^G2076^(G5748) our^G2257 wealth^G2142.

²⁶ You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.

KJVMoreover^G2532 ye see^G2334^(G5719) and^G2532 hear^G191^(G5719), that^G3754 not^G3756 alone^G3440 at Ephesus^G2181, but^G235 almost^G4975 throughout all^G3956 Asia^G773, this^G3778 Paul^G3972 hath persuaded^G3982^(G5660) and turned away^G3179^(G5656) much^G2425 people^G3793, saying^G3004^(G5723) that^G3754 they be^G1526^(G5748) no^G3756 gods^G2316, which^G3588 are made^G1096^(G5740) with^G1223 hands^G5495:

²⁷ Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”

KJVSo^G1161 that not^G3756 only^G3440 this^G5124 our^G2254 craft^G3313 is in danger^G2793^(G5719) to be set^G2064^(G5629) at^G1519 nought^G557; but^G235 also^G2532 that the temple^G2411 of the great^G3173 goddess^G2299 Diana^G735 should be despised^G1519^G3762^G3049^(G5683), and^G1161^G2532 her^G846 magnificence^G3168 should^G3195^(G5721) be destroyed^G2507^(G5745), whom^G3739 all^G3650 Asia^G773 and^G2532 the world^G3625 worshippeth^G4576^(G5736).

²⁸ When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

KJVAnd^G1161 when they heard^G191^(G5660) these sayings, they were^G1096^(G5637) full^G4134 of wrath^G2372, and^G2532 cried out^G2896^(G5707), saying^G3004^(G5723), Great^G3173 is Diana^G735 of the Ephesians^G2180.

²⁹ The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.

KJVAnd^G2532 the whole^G3650 city^G4172 was filled^G4130^(G5681) with confusion^G4799: and^G5037 having caught^G4884^(G5660) Gaius^G1050 and^G2532 Aristarchus^G708, men of Macedonia^G3110, Paul's^G3972 companions in travel^G4898, they rushed^G3729^(G5656) with one accord^G3661 into^G1519 the theatre^G2302.

³⁰ When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G1014 Paul^G3972 would^G1014^(G5740) have entered^G1525^(G5629) in^G1519 unto the people^G1218, the disciples^G3101 suffered^G1439^(G5707) him^G846 not^G3756.

³¹ Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

KJVAnd^G1161^G2532 certain^G5100 of the chief of Asia^G775, which were^G5607^(G5752) his^G846 friends^G5384, sent^G3992^(G5660) unto^G4314 him^G846, desiring^G3870^(G5707) him that he would^G1325 not^G3361 adventure^G1325^(G5629) himself^G1438 into^G1519 the theatre^G2302.

³² Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.

KJVSome^G243 therefore^G3767^G3303 cried^G2896^(G5707) one thing^G5100, and some another^G243: for^G1063 the assembly^G1577 was^G2258^(G5713) confused^G4797^(G5772); and^G2532 the more part^G4119 knew^G1492^(G5715) not^G3756 wherefore^G5101^G1752 they were come together^G4905^(G5715).

³³ They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.

KJVAnd^G1161 they drew^G4264^(G5656) Alexander^G223 out of^G1537 the multitude^G3793, the Jews^G2453 putting^G4261 him^G846 forward^G4261^(G5660)^(G5625)^G4261^(G5723). And^G1161 Alexander^G223 beckoned^G2678^(G5660) with the hand^G5495, and would^G2309^(G5707) have made his defence^G626^(G5738) unto the people^G1218.

³⁴ But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

KJVBut^G1161 when they knew^G1921^(G5631) that^G3754 he was^G2076^(G5748) a Jew^G2453, all^G3956^G1096^(G5633) with^G1537 one^G3391 voice^G5456 about^G5613 the space^G1909 of two^G1417 hours^G5610 cried out^G2896^(G5723), Great^G3173 is Diana^G735 of the Ephesians^G2180.

³⁵ When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?

KJVAnd^G1161 when the townclerk^G1122 had appeased^G2687^(G5660) the people^G3793, he said^G5346^(G5748), Ye men^G435 of Ephesus^G2180, what^G5101^G1063 man^G444 is there^G2076^(G5748) that^G3739 knoweth^G1097^(G5719) not^G3756 how that the city^G4172 of the Ephesians^G2180 is^G5607^(G5752) a worshipper^G3511 of the great^G3173 goddess^G2299 Diana^G735, and^G2532 of the image which fell down from Jupiter^G1356?

³⁶ Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.

KJVSeeing^G5607^(G5752) then^G3767 that these things^G5130 cannot be spoken against^G368, ye^G5209 ought^G1163^(G5752)^G2076^(G5748) to be^G5225^(G5721) quiet^G2687^(G5772), and^G2532 to do^G4238^(G5721) nothing^G3367 rashly^G4312.

³⁷ For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.

KJVFor^G1063 ye have brought hither^G71^(G5627) these^G5128 men^G435, which are neither^G3777 robbers of churches^G2417, nor yet^G3777 blasphemers^G987^(G5723) of your^G5216 goddess^G2299.

³⁸ If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.

KJVWherefore^G3303^G3767 if^G1487 Demetrius^G1216, and^G2532 the craftsmen^G5079 which are with^G4862 him^G846, have^G2192^(G5719) a matter^G3056 against^G4314 any man^G5100, the law^G60 is open^G71^(G5743), and^G2532 there are^G1526^(G5748) deputies^G446: let them implead^G1458^(G5720) one another^G240.

³⁹ But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1487 ye enquire^G1934^(G5719) any thing^G5100 concerning^G4012 other matters^G2087, it shall be determined^G1956^(G5701) in^G1722 a lawful^G1772 assembly^G1577.

⁴⁰ For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”

KJVFor^G1063^G2532 we are in danger^G2793^(G5719) to be called in question^G1458^(G5745) for^G4012 this day's^G4594 uproar^G4714, there being^G5225^(G5723) no^G3367 cause^G158 whereby^G4012^G3739 we may^G1410^(G5695) give^G591^(G5629) an account^G3056 of this^G5026 concourse^G4963.

⁴¹ When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had^G2036 thus^G5023 spoken^G2036^(G5631), he dismissed^G630^(G5656) the assembly^G1577.
